Thanks Brian,
I Think Andy's advice will have improved things, but if not I'll order a new U-plate and bend it at work.
Cheers.

Hi Andy, you were absolutely spot-on - now much better.
Cheers!

Thanks, I will have a look tomorrow.
I'd love to see you cleating off the traveller with your toes while out on the trapeze Liam...

Hi all, I'm finding it really difficult to get the traveller rope to jam in its cleat. I bought a new cleat as the old one was worn, but I'm still struggling to get the rope to jam in... it's almost as if the whole assembly needs to be angled upwards more and I'm having to kneel down on the tramp to...

Hi all, I don't (yet) own a harness but a few weeks ago one of my sailing friends crewed for me, and when she tried to get out on the wires she found that the hook position was too low (even with the adjuster fully shortened). She's crewed for other 15s in the club so knows what it should feel like....

Cheers Liam.

Hi all,
Could anyone tell me how long the trapeze bungee needs to be please? I need to replace mine and have found 3.3 metres of it but won't have a chance to check if it's long enough until the weekend.
Thanks.

Hi Brian,
Thanks for your reply.
How exactly is the copying done please? It would be very easy to ruin an expensive track with the smallest inaccuracies.
Has anyone actually done this and prepared to share their method please?
Thanks.

Hi all,
Has anyone bought one of the trampoline track replacement kits from Windsport? If so, could you confirm whether or not the rack extrusions are drilled please? In the photo on their website it doesn't look like there are any fixing holes...
Thanks.

Hi all, I've noticed that many of the Dart 15 sailors at Seaford have switched from wire to pre-stretched Dyneema for the jib halyard. Am just curious how commonplace this is? I've not heard of any breakages, and in fact I wouldn't be surprised if a Dart with a broken forestay could be limped home o...

Hi again Brian, I managed to get both screw stubs out! Filed two small parallel "flats" on each one, then with heavy pliers (mole grips wouldn't hold) did as you suggested - first one way, then the other. Kept applying WD40 as they were coming out, and looks as if the threads are intact. T...

Thanks Brian, I'll give it a try. Do you sell the appropriate stainless screws please?

Hi all, I'm hoping that someone can advise me on how to solve this... Among a few other maintenance jobs I tried to replace my jib furler cleat today, but while trying to remove the old one both screws have sheared off just below the head. I'm not sure how to proceed... Pry of the cleat body and try...

Thanks Liam, I'll get some stamps at the weekend.
